When [bad word] the world 
I'll tell you all to love 
I'll tell you all that you'll be fine 
So never give up 

When [bad word] the world 
The air will be clean 
And you can go and be someone 
That I want you to be 

When [bad word] the world 
We'll only just be getting by 
So we'll authorise the deep-sea drills 
But just this one time 

When [bad word] the world 
There'll be dissent on all sides 
So I guess we can go to war 
But just to protect what's right 

When [bad word] the world 
You'll prob'ly have a coup 
You prob'ly won't wanna do 
What I want you to do 

And I'm telling you now 
Your thoughts can prevail 
In your letters from jail 

When [bad word] the world 
I'll find out the [bad word] 
That maybe it's harder than 
We thought in our youth 

When [bad word] the world 
We'll put our differences aside 
And everyone dies
